Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Apollo Greed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Stroker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Greed kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is James Brown - Living In America . Stroker has chosen TBR - Bigger Than Kiss as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
